FoolDev Claude Opus 4.7 commited on 11 days ago

docs(examples): same Ollama-qwen35 split in llama_cpp_vision.py preamble

Browse files

Match the wording the README and Modelfile now use: the arch entries
are in Ollama's Go engine (text works on 0.24+) but missing from the
C++ llama.cpp fallback used when an mmproj is attached, so the
"use llama.cpp directly" recommendation for vision still holds.

 Thanatos-27B — vision (image-text-to-text) via llama-cpp-python.
 Why this script exists:

-    architecture entries needed to attach a separate mmproj projector.
-    Both `FROM mmproj.gguf` and `ADAPTER mmproj.gguf` fail with:

-    See ollama/ollama#15898, #14730 (closed as duplicates of #15898 root
